Shopify starts moving app developers toward App Pricing

Shopify's App Pricing migration is now clearer: directly matching subscriptions can move through plan setup, while usage-based and price-mismatched subscriptions stay on the Billing API until a separate Migration API arrives.

Zigpoll’s founder says agency-focused packaging lifted revenue per account 24% without a price increase

Zigpoll is a useful tiny-team pricing case because the claimed gain came from segment fit rather than simply charging everyone more. The founder says moving integrations down to the standard plan removed friction for agencies managing many client stores; current product pricing remains tiered primarily by survey-response volume.

Google is adding hard spend caps and commitment pricing for AI agent workloads

Google’s new agent FinOps model combines hard monthly spend caps that pause agent API calls, Flexible Savings Plans with one- or three-year commitments, pay-as-you-go Gemini Enterprise usage and planned deferred execution at up to half normal inference cost. The controls are useful, but commitment economics and task eligibility need to be modeled carefully.

Supabase fixes broken client trace propagation and now preserves trace IDs even for unsampled requests

supabase-js 2.112.3 materially improves the tracing rollout BTN covered earlier: unsampled requests now still carry traceparent for backend log correlation, tracing misconfiguration produces warnings, and browser Edge Function calls need current CORS headers to admit W3C trace context.

Meta’s approved U.S. teen settlement makes daily limits and nighttime blocks default on Instagram and Facebook

The settlement has crossed from proposed agreement to approved operating constraint. Meta now says the two-hour limit counts activity across Facebook, Instagram and detected multiple accounts, while teens also gain controls for non-algorithmic feeds and autoplay; most terms are required to remain in place for ten years.

A preregistered field experiment finds Google’s AI search reduces publisher clicks

The study moves the AI-search traffic debate beyond observational correlations: participants were randomly assigned to current Google Search, a version with AI features hidden, or AI Mode-only search during ordinary browsing. It is still a preprint and does not establish effects for every query or publisher.

Codex 0.149.0 ships asynchronous user messaging so agents can keep working after questions

Codex 0.149.0 includes the async-message tool, delivery metadata and removal of the client-side feature gate that BTN previously tracked only on main. Parallel human-agent work is now in a stable client, but late replies can still race with decisions and model capability metadata remains the final exposure gate.

Cloudflare links AI code scanning to live edge exposure before proposing a fix

The interesting part is not another AI scanner. Cloudflare is connecting source-code evidence to what is actually deployed and being attacked at the edge, validating findings outside the model, then preparing both a code patch and, where appropriate, a narrowly scoped WAF mitigation for customer review.
